thx ima have to try somethin else tonight Iv got the fever now weeeeeeee
bro that thing is sickkkk. it seems like you keep taking giant steps. at this rate youll be freehanding 5' gongs out of 9mil by next week! skiillzz
Sepulworld wants lessons!
always steppin big even when i shouldnt heheh oh well,
so I was tryin not to fume to hard last night, and was kinda irratated after doin a lot of IO clear and findin out there wasnt enuf fume to show anything so all the dots n linews are gone ugg, but the second one had a better ammount and actually might be my best fumed piece yet, but still to much at the bowl n mouth end but i know its from me sprayin a second layer on b4 i closed it up shouldnt have done that. deffinatley liek the 50x2.5 pullin cups off rdy to use is the shit and my stuff is commin out thicker now and i like it.
any how here it is
looking good! the clear one looks like its a little too thick though narrow passageway
oh dude the last bowl (bub?) came out super sweet.. dont worry bout the crackin lol half the fun is makin it anyway still its too bad.
the new bowls look like theyll hit real smooth
Ok so here is my first horn attempt (garrick inspired) and i must say it was kinda a bitch meltin in cuz it wanted to move all over the place, but I did a brace this time from bowl to stem and I can say I finally know how to do a proper seal, I could actually melt it n puff it with out it gettin all wonkey on me. so it came out smooth n thick, n tryed a lil more shapin then i would normally do, have to try again later today
I dont have no gold so only silver fume which i put on to thick again... i need some gold cuz i like the othercolors that come wif it ...
im def not that good at pickin good color combos but oh well im sure that will come in time.
also made a few pices of jank, the one isnt to bad but it cracked 3 times in the final stages, right across the front of bowl, then the whole back inch broke off blotube n all, jsut picked it up stuck it togethre and melted teh shit outa it and it came out ok,, cant believe all teh cracks i been savin latley, even fiked the bub crack so that was good,,
the other one i was jsut over not enuf fume and was sjtu wastin my time so i just made a freebe piece heheh
YAY just got a hook up for free propane at taylor rentals, went by today to drop a piece for the welder that hooked me up some weldin and the othere dude says hey hit me up we can trade i give ya free propane heheheh so im stoked on that BiG BBQs now hahahah
looks good crip, much better than my first attempt at a horn. keep at em they can only get better. i think im gonna start putting them on everything cept prodo.
thx man, ya they are cool i think ima try n make a squid piece hehe
i made a big ass spoon earlier just fume again with two horns its killing me to get it out of the kiln
Greetings. Instead of encasing your color first I would "trail spin" your colors, UNENCASED. Then, with a wide soft flame heat the colors until they are almost melted in. Now festoon (one direction rake) or feather (two direction rake) with, I prefer 3mm clear rod but you may want to use 5mm. Seeing how its less prone to breaking. This will give a much cleaner finish while also encasing your colors at the same time.:evilLaughQuote:

Repeat the exact same pipe 10 times in a row.
Remember, look at the reflection of light on the piece you are making. Any where the light 'bends" or "cutz" represents a deviation in structure. You want the glass to flow.
Keep it up. Your enthusiasm could take you far.
Nice Crip, the new avatar is to funny.
agua azul and orange crayon have silver in them?
last I heard, those are the best colors to fume with.Quote:
